Brazil: company that contaminated rivers ordered to provide water and food to families impacted

Leave a Comment
Imerys Rio Capim Caulim, mining company responsible for contamination of rivers Cururuperê and palm oil, in Pará, Brazil, will have to provide water and basic food baskets to all those affected by the tragedy. According to Folha de Sao Paulo, the Federal Court of Pará understood that Imerys was responsible for two leaks that left the waters of the rivers without conditions of use, due to contamination by mineral kaolin.

The area hit by the ore belongs to the Brazilian Navy, and the amount of families impacted by contamination was not informed.

Kaolin is a white ore, used in various industrial sectors-especially the role.

Now, Imerys will provide 80 gallons of water per month to households at a disadvantage, and a purse of € 25 ($ 77). The value of the power supply will be increased to €11,5 (US $ 35) per dependent minor, up to a maximum of €85 ($ 262).

The monthly payments to the families will be kept until the Imerys demonstrate, by technical studies, which impacted rivers returned to their natural characteristics.

It is recalled that, at the end of April, This River, in Braga, was the victim of an unloading of 20 cans of 15 liters of white paint. The ink will have been discharged, accidentally, by AKI store. See some of the pictures of This.
